We live in a pretentious world, a world where fancy words are meant to deceive minds and find its way into creating the illusion of what one's mind would have wanted. Losing on the needs of the very own existence of that being. Having said something so complex with big words is just an example of how our world works. It starts early when we all are made to dream about newest toys in the market, a visit to Disneyland, when we watch the fairytales and see those magical creatures.

We can find these digital hearts on all “social” media platforms. When I was new to the online social platforms, I remember I was not visible. My tweets went into the black hole of the Twitter galaxy and were never accounted for or looked on.
